Neoptolemus II (Greek: Νεοπτόλεμος; died 297 BC) was king of Epirus from 302 BC until his death.[2] He was the son of kingAlexander I of Epirus andCleopatra of Macedonia, his maternal grandparents werePhilip II of Macedon andOlympias. His maternal uncles includedAlexander the Great andPhilip III of Macedon. His maternal aunts includedThessalonike andCynane.

Neoptolemus came to the throne after the overthrow of his cousinPyrrhus in 302 BC. However, Pyrrhus returned five years later in 297 BC with the financial and military support of the Egyptian kingPtolemy I. After they initially agreed to rule together as co-kings, Neoptolemus was killed at the behest of Pyrrhus.[3]
